Have Unity and some 2D application like Ps, Gimp, SketchPad or MS Paint installed on your computer.

Before starting this course you should understand the basics of Unity. Like saving scenes, navigating the interface, using the three basic manipulation tools (Translate, Rotate and Scale), create prefabs and add and modify components inside of the inspector.

You should have a strong understanding of the basics of C#, such as creating variables, modifying those and calling functions.

Have a strong desire to learn, have fun and create awesome games !

I really enjoyed this course, and feel more confident to go forth and create my own games.
Very encouraging about creating your own art, and how to import and animate inside Unity.
If you're looking for a well organized, fun, encouraging and throughly enjoyable course on making a top down 2D shooter style game, then this course is for you!
